Abstract
Disclosed is a hydrogen storage alloy electrode prepared by integrating a mixture of a hydrogen storage alloy powder, an electrical conducting powder and a polymer binder with a current collector, characterized in that the polymer binder is composed of a polyacrylic acid salt and polytetrafluoroethylene as essential components, and that the hydrogen storage alloy powder is coated with polyacrylic acid salt, wherein the three-dimensional reticulate molecular chain of the polyacrylic acid salt itself is partially severed. Disclosed also is a method of preparing a hydrogen storage alloy electrode which comprises the steps of preparing a paste of a mixture containing hydrogen storage alloy powder, electrical conducting powder and a polymer binder, coating a current collector with the paste, drying it and pressure molding the current collector coated with the paste, the method being characterized in that at least a polyacrylic acid salt and polytetrafluoroethylene are used as the polymer binder, and after the paste is stirred at a high speed, the current collector is coated with the paste.
